So the seasons came and went and as his little
girl grew his heart expanded. She had been
called Darthuly Ann. Jim Guletly dropped the
former name and in time little Ann Cheek be-
came known all round Hiawassee Gap as list

| "Ef that thar young I'm didn't shoe the bosses

Although the German people do
not wish 10 do any more fighting, Bis.
mark and Won Moltke have been try
ing 10 induce the Reichstag to in
crease the army by some $4,000
men, and lengthen the term of SER
vice from three TO seven years. But
the German parliament refuses to
consider the sabiect. This led to
dissolution aud a cali for a new
election. Yet war in the near flu
ture IS regarded as inevitable. Bis
mark processes to feel kindly towards
Russia, and declares thatit is France
which is waiting for the chance TO
attack the Fatherland It is very
certain that the French army is an
enormous one, that 1t has been
strengthened with the view Of hay
ing another wrestle with Germany,
and that the foremost French inyen
tors have been at work forging new
and destructive weapons, which are
calculated 10 give the Gallo armies
an advantage over the Teutons. To
help It's armies. the French have al
most succeeded 10 navigating the air.
Indeed, in calm weather, they have
found out how 20 propel an aerial

though as yet they have not been
able to overcome strong winds. The

ing to think Of the mighty efforts
that are nov being put forth to XIII
human beings when the next con-
hict takes pace. Science and art
have been enrolled In the service Of

Putting Girdies Round the Earth

The time is not distant when the
whole globe will be covered With a
net work of Geographic wires. Near
ly all commercial ports on every
continent are now in communlca
tion with the centers of trade in
Europe and America. The last
great gap is about to be filed up by
the laying of cables under the
Pacific ocean. A great company of
British capitalists has been organ
lied to lay cable from Vancouver,
b. c., to Hong Kong, China. There
will be branches and connections
with Japan and the principal islands
Of the Pacific ocean. The import
ance of this multiplication of verbal
communication between different
parts of the world cannot be over
estimated. For one thing, it will
probably lay the basis for univer
sal language--a telegraphie code
will be established that can be read
by operators the world over. Then,
as has been frequently pointed out,
mercantile profits are reduced to a
minimum when knowledge of
prices in the various markets is
dashed instantaneously from the
buying to the selling marts of trade
The enormous profits of former
periods was simply an insurance
against the risks of sending cargoes
to distant ports in ignorance of the
prices that might prevail when the
vessels reached their destinations.
There are also those who dream
that this instantaneous communica-
ton between one end of the earth
and the other may bring about a
single government for the whole
globe, and thus usher in the era
when peace will prevail, and indus
try be the one material pursuit Of
mankind. The labor question can
never be settled until there is an
agreement all over the world as to
what the working mems share of the
aggregate production shall be.

March.
